Something like Lee Sa-ra from The Glory: a thoroughly evil female lead, but the male lead still loves her. Ideally, he's a very virtuous person who knows how awful she is but loves her anyway and wants to set her straight.

The fact that the female lead isn't love-struck makes the show worth watching. I absolutely love how clear-headed she is, calmly walking the line between life and death while seeking revenge. 👍👍 It's hilarious when it's funny, and thrilling when it's exciting—it's really engaging! Just go for it! 💕💕 The plot is really exciting and very easy to follow!
It's absolutely fantastic! The writing flows smoothly, the plot is tight and fast-paced, and it kept me hooked (because of my own circumstances, I'm becoming increasingly picky about the novels I read). The female lead is so clear-headed, shrewd, and has superb acting skills, yet she's not love-struck—that's a huge plus!! Although the male lead is sometimes a bit...
I've been watching too many love-obsessed female leads lately, so it's really nice to suddenly have a meticulously scheming female lead. The female lead lies constantly to manipulate the male lead, and the back-and-forth between them is really addictive. The plot is unconventional, and the twists and turns are quite sudden. Looking forward to more exciting developments! 😏😏
This novel is so addictive! The plot is totally on my mind! 💕💕 I love how the female lead is so cunning and calculating. Her acting in front of the male lead is so captivating, blurring the lines between truth and fiction. I can't wait for what happens next! 🥰🥰 It's really beautiful, highly recommended! 💕
The plot is full of twists and turns, and the emotions are handled well. Towards the end, I didn't expect that my favorite character would be Bo Nian'en, who is both courageous and capable. However, the reason for deducting one star is that the female lead always has to give in and coax him, which is still somewhat frustrating to watch.
The female lead is intelligent. She's no longer interested in romance. She calmly walks the edge of danger for revenge. It's so good. Definitely five stars.
I've read several of the author's novels, and they're all excellent. 😄😄 It's rare to see a female lead in this book who isn't obsessed with romance! [Learned][Learned] It's like watching a TV drama, very engaging. I'm looking forward to the later part where the Fourth Prince chases after his wife in a dramatic, heart-wrenching way!
This is one of the few revenge stories in contemporary Chinese literature that is fully planned. Both the male and female protagonists are intelligent and wise, but we haven't yet figured out the male protagonist's relationship and attitude towards his mother. Before the strict censorship, many such articles appeared, which were quite exciting to read.
It's pretty good, the plot moves well, and the pacing is excellent. 😘 When you're heartbroken, you might think the whole world has abandoned you. Don't be silly, the world never needed you in the first place. ❤️❤️❤️ Love means that if I have no better choice, I'll stay with you until the end of time. 😘
The novel's plot differs from other revenge stories I've read. The female lead is both clear-headed and in love with the male lead. I think the male lead is actually restraining his love for her. His revenge, though seemingly unsuccessful, is in reality a success. The female lead's greatest weapon is winning the male lead's love.
